Created by Their Excellencies Sven and Muirenn

Purpose

From Starkhafn's website | Orders, Awards, and Honours in the Society:

"In the depths of each of us burns the desire to be chivalrous and kind to others, to lend a hand without being asked. This is a belief that binds us all: fighters, artisans, peers and non-peers alike. Now and again, a person stands out, giving of himself or herself in a manner far beyond that which is expected. Such a person brings honor to our Barony and Kingdom. Thus in recognition of such acts of selflessness, chivalry, and honor was created the Order of the Desert Bloom."
